Hello! And thanks for the question, I really appreciate your attention!

Here's some samurai archer Wawa especially for you. The short description of the AU is right below, enjoy reading.

The action takes place in the late 19th / early 20th century. The plot is built on the confrontation between supporters and opponents of the introduction of European culture to Japan.

The Suzuki family is very rich and influential, Toichiro publicly opposes the opening of the borders, since his wife died in the unrest caused by civil clashes. And Serizawa is his vassal. Since the age of seventeen, he has served the Suzuki family as a samurai and, in fact, Sho's nanny (Toichiro doesn't really care about his son). Serizawa himself shares Toichiro's ideology - the unrest in the country cost the life of not only his mother, but also his entire village (he was born and raised in a conservative community). From his native land, Serizawa only had Minegishi left, who was a one-year-old child at the time of the attack - twelve-year-old Serizawa fled into the forest with him in his arms, when he got that all the adults defending the village died in battle. So Wawa is like Minegishi's big brother, I guess.

Reigen is an ardent supporter of European culture. He is sure that opening the borders is indispensable. But he does not get involved in politics. He simply bought a couple of buildings and turned them into something like... Pubs? Completely in the Western style. Ekubo is a former cult member (or rather, a former cult leader and a convicted criminal, yeah-yeah), and works at Reigen's bar. Reigen met Mob three years before the main AU timeline. At that time, Shigeo and Ritsu, also left without a family due to the internal political slaughter, were street scamming on the outskirts of the city market. Mob fooled Reigen, after which he, having become imbued with him and Ritsu, offered to take them with him. Reigen has been raising them ever since.
